Learn how to keep the (economic) forest in your view and not lose sight of the (data) trees!

“The participants found Elliot’s economic outlook very valuable in understanding the drivers of a downturn in the economy. He also provided the group with a different perspective compared to the content from other economists and offered up clear predictions which will help one executive consider future decisions for his bank. Elliot delivered 100+%, and was easy, organized and fun to strategize with. I highly recommend Dr. Eisenberg and look forward to working with him again.”
